Personality Profile

Nickname: Al, Twigga

Superstition: I have to blow a kiss to the clock everytime it is all the same numbers and make a wish.

Something No One Knows About You: I[apos]m dedicating this season to my Granddad that passed away in the Spring, he had been my number one fan ever since I started sports and died just before my final season as an athlete.

If I lost all of my possessions but one I[apos]d keep: something that has all my pictures saved on it

I wish I was better at: talking quieter so i wouldn[apos]t lose my voice so much.

Before every game: I pray that no one gets hurt and that we play our best.
